Decisions, Decisions

My son somehow managed to drop the Italica Bulldog 150. Fortunately, on the grass, in the yard, at slow speed. No major damage -- busted mirror (I had workable replacements), busted headlight fairing.

I'm looking for a replacement fairing, but may just go ahead and replace the whole headlight with a nicer looking round can style as part of my desire to make the thing into a more "cafe racer" looking bike.

Or maybe not. My daughter says she's taking her motorcycle license class next weekend, and I told her she could have the Bulldog if she got the license for it. Maybe I'll just let her deal with the fairing.

Also this weekend, I saw my first Bulldog "in the wild" other than my own. It's the 2025, I think. I'd personally not prefer a white motorcycle, and the post-2024 models don't come in the lovely yellow I have.
